Started with a 1/4 20 4 inch bolt. Filed the markings off the top. After it is smooth, I use jewelry files, jewelry saw ,different dremel bits and in one case my metal checkering file. All in all, they don't take all that long to do. I then test them on scrap leather and geez, they actually leave an impression on the leather.
 
show us the impression the checkered one leaves and the one on the left. I have commercial version of the other two but those other two look interesting.

I'll be glad to. Be a little bit later as I will be doing morning chores like cutting and splitting firewood.
 
I don't have too much time on my hands.....I'm just a very efficient farmer/country boy.!!!:cool:
What kinda pics ya want?
 
How they look on the leather. If ya got some scrap that you won't use,, show us how they turned out. That would be very nice!
 
so using a hex shape to start with do you anticipate making a full cover pattern with a small gap between to make a type of border between them??
I prefer the larger checkered pattern with the 1/32 checkering for its boldness and clarity.
It looks like I am seeing three bottom edges in the pic above with nice straight edges but the other edges appear to have a rounded appearance to them or is that a "pic thing".

The one that I sorta called the dogs paw look is a nice stamp and would make a very attractive full cover pattern. I like it
